Wendy Guyton joins Life Donor speaker Cathy McCall
Cathy McCall is an Advocate for Organ Donation. She and her husband lost their son, Jim, in a tragic motorcycle accident before his 20th Birthday. Thankfully, Jim was an Organ Donor. He made this decision after 3 of his classmates died in the same week. Later in his family's life, his sister Meredith was saved by another Organ Donor. Nobody knows better than the McCall Family the miracle of organ donation. Their son will live on through the lives he saved with his gift. And, their daughter will live a healthy life because of the kindness of another donor. Please talk to your families about this.
